Now that I’m a locum tenens, who pays me?


Payment Faqs
Locum tenens providers are independent contractors.  As such, competitive compensation is typically based on hourly, daily and gross billing terms, as well as according to industry standards.  It is in the locum’s best interest to inquire about payment schedules prior to accepting the contract.  Some locums are more comfortable with weekly, rather than biweekly pay.  It is also important to discuss whether you will be paid by cheque or direct deposit.  Don’t forget to consider lodging expenses when thinking about your salary.  Lodging expenditures are covered on individual contract basis.  You are your own boss, so negotiations are always up to you!

We remain, as always,
